Here's the Distagon 28/2.8 @ 2.8. If you're not into extreme vignetting then never use Contax Metal Hood #3 on this lens, #1 should be ok.
Or just use the rubber Contax G-12 hood.
@ Lieutenant Z: Nice rendering in that shot with the 85P. Which aperture was used here?

That "warty frog" is a common toad, and those are supposed to look like that.
Doubt that, it looks too alien to me, maybe down there in continental Europe.. ;-)

Another stunning Volvo shot! I am slowly beginning to get an itch for that car. Are they very expensive?
Thanks! I dont think so. If you find one in DE it could/should be cheap, many are right now being brought back to SWE from the US where they sell cheaply. It's not powered like a Jaguar E-type but it's not bad for 1964, double SU carbs and so on. Love this ad:
Haha, you can get better than that with less intrusion on your retirement. Amazing T/S experience in the first image! Impressive ad
It is a 2+2 seater. Back is suffice for kids, but not really tall adults other than short A-B travel. Nothing for the vacation.
There is a German P1800 club, very dedicated I believe. As far as I understand the German (and Swiss) mindset is to have cars where you can serve meals in the engine bay, a car like that can go for 20.000 Euro or more. We're talking (almost) museum pieces. Some like that exist here but most are driven. For the Nordic mindset a fully working and original one in excellent condition (like the one I posted) could sell for not much over half that. The Saint (Roger Moore, honorable member of the Swedish P1800 club) drove a white one with red interiour, they tend to go a little higher.
Ronny - Great toad shot. And I really like the rusty anchor shot.
Wilhelm - That is a great volvo shot. I sort of don't mind the hardedge vignette fo that particular shot.
